Historians and epidemiologists have only recently begun to explore the Nazi anti-tobacco movement. Germany had the world's strongest antismoking movement in the 1930s and early 1940s, encompassing bans on smoking in public spaces, bans on advertising, restrictions on tobacco rations for women, and the world's most refined tobacco epidemiology, linking tobacco use with the already evident epidemic of lung cancer. The anti-tobacco campaign must be understood against the backdrop of the Nazi quest for racial and bodily purity, which also motivated many other public health efforts of the era.
历史学家和流行病学家直到最近才开始探索纳粹的反烟草运动。在20世纪30年代和40年代初，德国拥有世界上最强大的反吸烟运动，包括公共场所禁烟、广告禁令、对女性烟草配给的限制，以及世界上最精细的烟草流行病学研究，将烟草使用与当时已经明显的肺癌流行联系起来。必须在纳粹追求种族和身体纯洁的背景下来理解这场反烟草运动，这一背景也推动了那个时代的许多其他公共卫生努力。
